As a prelude to a thorough reorganization of the} Federal Farm Loan Board, President Coolidge has named Eugene Meyer as head of this important bureau. Mr. Meyer is eminently qualfied to direct the activities of this board during a most crucial Period of its existence. There has been much com- plaint in the past about the operation of the Fed- eral Farm Loan Board. It is evidently President Coolidge’s intention to reorganize thoroughly this bureau of the government in the hope that it might function more smoothly in behalf of farm aid. Most of the trouble has arisen because of the difference of-opinion regarding the handling of the farm loan business. Several members of the board have resigned as a result of frequent clashes over ad- ministrative problems. Eugene Meyer is not a stranger to the northwest. As a member of the War Finance Corporation, he came into intimate contact with the many problems of the northwest. He has a wide acquaintance among North Dakota bankers, and made a very favorable impression upon the financial men of the state during the His past experience should fit him to meet the many and perplexing problems of the Farm Loan Board. x Mr. Meyer was formerly a Los Angeles banker, entering the government service in 1917. The ap- pcintment cannot be regarded as a political one, as President Wilson, a Democrat, selected him to head the War Finance Corporation. Mr. Meyer engaged also in many cther war activities having to do chiefly with the financial aspects of the World War. Mr. Meyer has a splendid opportunity con- fronting him, and he will doubtless receive the * n€arty' cooperation of the agricultural sections. He the nation. The appointment seems most opportune. Worth Trying Tov little attention, it seems to us, has been given the recent suggestion of Freneh Foreign Min- ister Briand that the United States‘and France sign @ treaty forever cutlawing war between themselves, Rodney Dutcher, Washington correspondent, 7 poifits out that this suggestion has made little stir at our capital. Apparently it has'made no more =. stip anywhere else in the country. Yet, to our way “of thinking, it is a most excellent idea. ‘“catow there doesn’t seem to be any very great that we will go to war with France, either tor not. This nation and France have a little mis- ‘@mderstanding about the war debt, and probably our mutual friendship has cooled considerably since the fraternal days of 1917; yet it would require a com- plication of a gravity at prsent incomprehensible " to bring either nation to the point where it would want to war with the other. '* That being the case, it might be asked, “Why ‘ign a no-war treaty, then? It isn’t needed.” Probably that is true. But the treaty would be 6 ‘magnificent gesture”; and sometimes the right ‘Kind of gesture is an extremely weighty force in the’affairs of the world. For, affr all, it is the intangible things that are important, even in so hard-boiled a realm as that of, international politi A scrap of paper may be rather insignificant in itself, but it nfay also prove a power of tremendous value in its influence on the minds of men. To our way of thinking, this treaty would be such a@ power. It is certain that the United States and France have cnly the most peaceable intentions towards one another; why not, then, put that down | in writing?) Why not publish a covenant for the world to see setting forth that these two nations | gre forever pledged to an amicable settlement of whatever differences may arise between them? Who can tell what far-reaching effects such a step might not have? For the signing of mutual treaties outlawing war ‘has’ heretofore been the concern only of small na- tions. Suppose two of the largest and strongest ‘hations on earth entered into such agreement; is it jot safe to say that the moral effect might be tre- ‘™mendous? And it is precisely in that sphere—in the catching of men’s visions by a glimpse of a new order—that international peace lies, rather than in any compliéatel system of “guarantees,” “alliances,” ‘balance-of-power flub-dubbery or the like. _ At all events, it is worth thinking over. We would like to see the country give M. Briand’s sug- peation-a good deal of thought. : A Students’ Strike tudents of an Indiana high school went on strike the other day because school officials had dis- charged the athletic coach. Some 200 youngsters paraded, made speeches and { announced boldly that they ‘would not return to *» school unless ‘the coach were reinstated. - or “This, sort of thing has become rather common; in recent years. It is evident that senieohe has beer ing these young people an exaggerated idea of ‘in the future, whether this treaty be signed| |by immigrants who came by the Bering Straits, and | it wants to find out if this hunch is right. | It’s an interesting problem.

It Was Obvious The liner Ryndam, “floating university,” returns | | from its round-the-world cruise and announces that | | the project was eminently successful, but that, on | the whole, it has been deemed wiser to omit the | co-educational feature in the next cruise. | This, it is added, is no reflection on the students, | j and does not mean that there were any scandalous | or romantic goings-on on this last cruise. The au- thorities simply feel that better work will be | done if all of the students are of the same sex. | | _ We hate to say “I told you so”; but this, it seems, | should have been fairly obvicus. | | Imagine a liner cruising through the East Indies; | there is a full moon silvering the water, and a spice- i laden breeze spilling over the rail; a lone co-ed sits | | pensive on a deserted deck in the moonlight—- | | what young man is going tu keep his mind on! | binominal theorems or quadratic equati¢ns in such | | circumstances ? | No. It should have been fairly obvious. | | | Rewarded We are glad that the Pulitzer prize for 1926 has {been awarded to the Daily News cf Canton, Ohio. |It is a fitting tribute to the service rendered by | Don Mellett. |. You are doubtless familiar with Mellett’s carcer; how he fought ten: usly against graft and cor- ruption in his city’s governnental and political life. and how he paid with his life for that fight. It was | a noble record; a record of which the country may be proud. ‘ The Pulitzer prize was well earned. The Canton Daily News has deserved it. It has continued the good fight since Mellett’s death, and Canton, in- cidentally, is a better place to live in now than it} was a year ago. Atrocity—or What? Twenty Chinese communists have been strangled to death at Peking after secret trials. They were accused cf having joined a plot by southern Chi- nese and Russians against the northern govern- ment. Possibly their sentences were warranted. But here’s the pcint we want to make: If the radical} wing of the Chinese forces has strangled 20 of its opponents, what a shriek of “atrocity” would go up from , the British observers in Shanghai. We would be told that the Chinese are cruel barbarians; every detail of the thing would be spread before us so that we might. shudder. But as it is? It is presented quietly, and those It makes a difference who does it, you see. A Worthy Contést The Daniel Guggenheim fund for the promoticn! of, acronautics announces the posting of $150,000 in prizes for a “safe aircraft competition.” By this means it hopes to take American aeronautics a long step along the road to real safety in the air. Of course, everything considered, our airplanes are remarkably safe right now. But the tragedy that took the lives of Noel Davis and Stanton Wooster emphasizes that there is much yet to be! done. The airplane is a wonderful instrument waiting full development. The Guggenheim fund’s contest ought to help it immensely. It is a step in the | right direction. 1 Watching History It will pay you to keep your eyes on, England | these days.

She heard the mob tear down and destroy every building on the place. Here she describes the scene’ Old, common coolie workmen, many of whom we had never laid eyes on before, protected us and cared for us as though we were their own children, brought us food time and again in their own coarse earthenware bowls and fed us with their own dirty chopsticks and brought covers from their own beds to cover us up and keep us warm. . . .
